Interviewed by Sky Sports News, Dimitri Seluk, agent of Ivorian star midfielder Yaya Touré (33), stated: "We officially started talking to other clubs yesterday. We decided to wait for Manchester City to tell us something about a new contract, but they never called. And we can't wait until June to start talks. He will join neither China nor MLS, since he wants to keep playing in Europe. I started talking to several clubs, including Italian and Spanish ones. Manchester United? Why not? Mourinho is a top manager, and Yaya has already played together with Ibrahimovic at Barcelona. That wouldn't be a problem for us".

Playing for Cagliari since last season, and having gone through a very long-term injury, Moldovan international midfielder Artur Ionita (27), according to Italian paper Corriere dello Sport, is about to have his contract with Serie A side officially extended until June 2021. Form
